Keep it simple . Just a scaled up version of the 180. Would be good enough .

When I say "Utility" I am thinking "Low cost" and "No frills", there are lot's of high quality semi auto rifles on the market with the corresponding high price, they have all the " bells and whistles " . I am thinking that our market is starved of good value for money entry level rifles that actually deliver what they are claimed to be, I don't expect purchasers of my rifles to have to rebuild them at their own exspence just to give basic performance, that should be guaranteed out of the box. It is another matter for a new owner to refinish with his favorite colour, change the caliber or fit a match grade barrel, that is above and beyond, technically that would also void the warranty, although I would never use this as an excuse to duck out of any obligation I felt was reasonable.
Question: What do you want as a "dry" weight?
Don’t get forced down the super heavy match barrel sub MOA game, minute of doe heart while not so front heavy is perfect.
But please do make it Geissele compatible.
And make it super easy to field strip and clean.
AR compatible grip and stock for swapping.
And LRBHO.

Speaking of finish, plain anodized for preference over that coloured paint rubbish that does nothing but muck up tolerances

You know of any pistol mags for .308?
It would be better if it could accept a bolt action rifle mag, like savage model 10 or remington 700. That way some enterprising company could make after market 20/30 round savage model 10 magazines...
Should probably get the savage model 10 magazines to market first though...
Government is a broker in pillage, and every election is sort of an advance auction sale of stolen goods. HL Mencken. 1919.
"Dry weight" = Unloaded, no optics, sling or accessories, the basic rifle as we ship her.
Magazines: if we use the M14 (which are no longer an international standard, read obsolete, like the excellent FN FAL mag) we can use the 10 rd AIA mag, for how long? Or we use the SR25 type which is fast becoming a new standard and allows the use of the XCR-M 10 rd mag, but again for how long?
Your choice?
